Registration: https://forms.gle/Abu5pwq2eHWogA8HA

There will not be an awarding ceremony for kids, everyone will receive a diploma and a little sweet treat. The number is adhesive but it can also be attached with safety pins. Children’s feet and hands may get dirty on the course, but all obstacles are safe and take children’s age into consideration. We kindly ask parents not to run on the course with children (only if it’s really necessary) so children could get a great experience all by themselves!

Before start

The starting materials will be issued based on the starting number. The competition shirt will also be issued with the starting materials, if previously ordered.

For faster issuance of starting materials, please check your bib number in advance from the start protocol (at the information stand, on the website) and tell it to the organizer issuing the numbers. Each competitor will receive a number vest and a timing chip as part of the starting materials. The number vest must be worn over clothing throughout the competition.

The number vest and timing chip must be returned to the organizers after finishing the race!

Distances and courses

The length of the main course is approximately 7,4 km. There are natural and built obstacles on the course. The distance of the short course is approximately 3,9 km. The course is marked with arrows, ribbon and referees.

To maintain obstacles in good health, it’s forbidden to use shoes with spikes.

Obstacles

Some of the obstacles may be difficult (i.e plank walls) especially for women and shorter people. That is why we call up participants to help your co-participants and if needed, ask for help! If you can not pass the obstacle you need to do an alternative.  We really recommend to at least try the obstacle before choosing the alternative way. The course is tough.

In order to maintain good feeling and to enjoy the race, we recommend to start out slowly! If there is a queue or you can not pass a participant on a narrow way, please remain calm and polite. Ask the way nicely when it is possible to pass.

Safety

All participants take part on their own risk! 

Obstacles are built so that they would be challenging yet safe for the participants. There is medical service in the race center, who will help you in case of injuries.

Start and finish

Start takes place in groups, approximately 75 people in one group. Check you starting number from the start protocol and start times can be seen under the timetable on this page.

Starting groups are formed taking former race results into consideration. Organizers place stronger runners in the first group. The remaining starting groups will be divided randomly and based on requests. All participants without timekeeping will start from the last starting group.

If there are any problems or questions about the starting group please write to [email protected]. Changing the starting group on Saturday-Sunday is only possible for an additional fee (5€).

At the finish everyone will receive a medal and Värska water.
